HEY NOW, YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR

Okay, so my first thought when I saw this was "OMG AMAZING". Seriously, it pops off the screen vibrantly and I really just want to hug this Dragonite to death. I'm especially infatuated with that eye- though to me, the shine in it at the top feels slightly off, the way you did the iris and pupil overall is really amazing, and fits the title perfectly!

To be honest, the only thing I think I can say for constructive criticism has to do with certain colors- particularly the background/star. While Dragonite surely pops out easily, especially thanks to that nifty white lineart around it, the background kind of blends in a bit too well with Dragonite's skin...And the star from the wink is kind of bland in comparison. Other then that, perhaps using a different color for your signature would help- as the one you used looks too similar to the shine used on the skin tone and can play tricks on people.

Though I'm also writing this and looking at it with a migraine in progress...So it could be that. But it's still food for thought!

My last note is about the left hand (er, paw? claw? What do we call these anyway?!). While it's easy to see what the pose was you were going for, I find that the bottom digit/finger/nail thing...Looks too curved. I've always seen them as nail-like claws- meaning the likelihood is, they don't bend the same way as our fingers do. So to me, it kind of feels like either something happened to that poor Dragonite, or it should be a bit more pointed even it it's pointing more at the chin. That's just my personal thought on it though.

Outside those notes? This thing is amazing. The vibrant shading, that adorable face- I don't think saying it's 'amazing' even does it justice! Well done, for certain. You've got yourself a new fan in me!
